Hey I've got one

which group of determinants of health is the most infuential on overall health? Justify your response.

[teletubbies_95]

Thats a weird one . Ill wont try to answer that , ill leave the more experienced to do that!

Do we need to know about the preventative model of health in VCAA exams?

[Smiley_]

I think we only need to about the biomedical model of health, social model, and the ottawa charter

also why does the UK have low injury rates?

[Smiley_]

also what text book are you using ?

[teletubbies_95]

i think we are using "Cambridge"

Question: How do high fibre carbohydrate foods with low GI lead to a gradual increase in blood glucose levels?

[teletubbies_95]

answering your questions about the UK and low injury rates :

Geographical differences – For example , compared to Australia, employees in the transport and storage sector may have to travel less distances, due to geography of UK , while Australia being the larger country , there may be more injuries occurring. Also , the remoteness experienced in Australia's mining and farming sector , can cause more injuries !

thats what i could think of! ill think about it , and ill post again ! hope that helps!

Do we need to know about the preventative model of health in VCAA exams?

how we learnt it was that the preventative modl of health, is basically a synonym for the social model of health.
in vcaa exams they are more likely to use the social model of health though. they're practically the same thing.

i think we are using "Cambridge"

Question: How do high fibre carbohydrate foods with low GI lead to a gradual increase in blood glucose levels?

The high amount of fibre in a food leads to a gradual increase in blood glucose, as if the food was only fibre then it would not affect the glucose levels, because fibre is not broken down by the body but as the food would have to contain something else eg a low gi cake would hve starch,
the other ingredient would be broken down by the body and therefore affect blood glucose levels but only leading to a graudual increase!.
Fibre also has been shown to reduce to the absorption of glucose the small intestine.


ok proper answer: The high amount of fibre in a food causes a reduction of the glucose from the small intestine leading to minimal increase of blood sugar compared to if a high gi product was consumed.


do you think this sounds right?

I enjoy nutrients, cause its relatable to biology 3/4!
